1.0 Synopsis

The Department of Air Force (DAF), F-16 System Program Office (SPO), is conducting market research to identify source capable of performing an engineering investigation to enhance the thermal management of the BAE Systems Inc. Digital GPS Anti-Jam Receiver (DIGAR)-200 for F-16 Integration.

The purpose of this effort is to address operational limitations where the DIGAR-200’s internal temperatures approach critical limits during extended ground operations. The Government seeks to formalize a thermal management strategy by implementing an autonomous, temperature-based mode-switching logic.

The Period of Performance is anticipated to be six (6) months from contract award. The Government will provide up to three (3) DIGAR-200 units as Government Furnished Material (GFM) for the investigation.

2.0 Core Requirements

The Contractor shall conduct an engineering investigation to validate and refine a thermal management logic based on the DIGAR-200’s internal temperature, using a Government-provided thermal survey and MIL-STD-810 as a baseline. Key objectives include:

Defining a Three-Band Thermal Logic: The investigation will finalize the precise temperature thresholds for:
- GREEN Band: Full Anti-Jam (AJ) Mode.
- YELLOW Band: Low-Power Mode (while maintaining continuous Positioning, Navigation, and Time (PNT) data).
- RED Band: An autonomous Recovery “safe mode” that allows the system to cool and gracefully restart without an external power cycle.
Meeting Key Performance Goals: The proposed solution must be demonstrated through analysis to meet a combined 90-minute ground operational performance requirement. This scenario includes an uninterrupted 20-minute Pre-flight System Checkout in the GREEN Band, followed by 70 minutes of extended ground operations where the system must not enter the RED Band.
